The Astronomers Without Borders global community is at the heart of everything we do. Bringing the community together through astronomy fosters friendship, understanding, and good will. Programs and activities are made possible by the participation of AWB members.

Astronomers Without Borders is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing people together from around the world through our common interest in astronomy. We have programs underway and in development with partners worldwide, including Global Astronomy Month - the world's largest celebration of astronomy - which builds on the unprecedented attention paid to astronomy during the International Year of Astronomy 2009. All programs are worldwide, accessible to anyone, and intended to connect us all through our common interest in the night sky and our place in the Universe.

Your support can help us continue what we do, and enable so much more . Be a part of the Astronomers Without Borders worldwide effort. Help build bridges between countries and cultures - through the sky.
